From 1,000 lbs. to 8,000 lbs.
From 2,000 lbs. to 8,000 lbs., Dexter leaf spring axles are the standard of the trailer industry. Each capacity is tested to meet the specific needs of each application.
Dexter offers straight and 4” drop spindles for all sprung axles rated at or above 3,500 lbs. In many cases, Dexter has multiple tube and spindle solutions to safely handle the overhang customers desire. Dexter's innovative integral brake flange on the spindle provides consistent brake placement for dependability. Sprung axle suspension is accomplished through double-eye and slipper spring configurations and can be mounted in either underslung or overslung configurations. Leaf Spring axles are offered with several lubrication options, depending on the capacity, including E-Z Lube and standard grease.
Dexter manufactures sprung axle attaching parts in-house, maintaining stringent tolerances required for long-lasting product quality and performance. Thicker and heavier shackle links paired with unique coated and coined U-Bolts provide an extended service life and ensure your axle is adequately secured.
Dexter is committed to providing its customers with the most durable, high-quality leaf spring axles on the market.
